Even though the yeast is a little older than the date I used, you still have a good pitch rate.
I would let the wort rise to 66° to 67°. Below 65° WY 1056 can throw a peach flavor which can be noticed in some beers. I haven't noticed it in my American amber ales, but did notice it in a dry Irish stout.
While this is technically correct, I would caution against chasing unicorns throughout the homebrewing process. Beer-making has a pretty fair degree of tolerance (mash temps/times, boil times, gravity readings, volumes, fermentation temps/times, pitch rates, etc) and given the homebrewer's ability to truly measure and control these things trying to zero in on levels of precision that are subject to other variables can cause a lot of undue stress.
If you are OCD and you find this sort of thing therapeutic, by all means go for it. Otherwise, becoming a slave to it can zap some of the joy out of the process.
Yes, fermentation temperatures are important ... but 2-3 degrees difference can be nothing more than rounding error, instrument error, or the variation of the thermo activity among the yeast themselves (anywhere between 4-10 degrees in a 5-gallon batch depending on how vigorous the yeast are).
You have done a 2-liter starter (pretty standard rule of thumb for 5-gallon ales, 4-liter being the rule of thumb for 5-gallon lagers), pitched at a good temp into a mid-gravity wort, and are holding at a good temp. Given this care and understanding at your early stage, I assume you have taken care with sanitation (another thing that can get over-hyped ... yes, important, but not to the degree of hazmat suits ... I even know one guy that who takes a shower and rinses with Purell before he pitches his yeast), so now it is time to "relax, don't worry ... have a homebrew!"
